Great to meet you!

Freud said, “Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.” I believe his insight was right: positive relationships and fulfilling, productive work impact our mental and physical wellness. This forms the focus of my practice. I've counseled adults dealing with relationship conflict, work stress or life transitions for over ten years.

My approach to therapy

I believe that humans are wired to desire growth and authentic connection. That is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth and relational connection.

I assist clients with understanding their relational patterns and incorporate EMDR to help heal their past trauma and stuck points so they can get back to the lives they love.

What you can expect from me

I can help you gain more clarity into your situation, provide tools that you can use immediately to start feeling better, and support you in making the choices which are right for you. My clients notice that after a few sessions they have found answers within themselves. My counseling style is direct yet sensitive, warm, collaborative and sometimes funny!
